The Spirit repository is the result
of the contributions of active members of the Spirit community. We would like
to express our thanks to all who directly contributed and to everybody directly
or indirectly involved in the discussions, which led to the creation of the
parser and generator components.

The following people have directly contributed code to this repository:

Aaron Graham wrote the advance parser component, which allows
the parser to skip (advance) through a specified number of iterations without
performing unnecessary work.

Chris Hoeppler submitted the confix parser directive allowing to
embed a parser (the subject) inside an opening (the prefix) and a closing sequence
(the suffix).

Francois Barel contributed the subrule parser and subrule generator components, allowing
to create a named parser or generator, and to refer to it by name. These components
are in fact fully static versions of the corresponding rule
component.
